The Strory Of Mr. Rigels

Chapter 9: News

Trruukkc......

The sound of wooden swords clashed against each other

Between me and Sebastian.

I swung my sword constantly at Sebastian, but Sebastian was able to handle it.

I jumped, lifted my sword over my head and swung it down. Sebastian managed to stop him.

"May you too Young Master."

"Not yet."

I swung it again and Sebastian stepped back to dodge. I immediately stepped forward and again raised my wooden sword up, but Sebastian could hold it back again until our Swords refused.

This time it was Sebastian's turn to attack. Quickly, a cross swing towards me, I parried and held back his attack, he raised his sword and swung down, I dodged his side.

Not stopping, semastian's body lowered and then swung his sword flat towards me. I nimblely jumped backwards, but quickly he moved after me, his sword immediately slammed towards me.

I who was in the air couldn't dodge, then...

"Limbo."

The shadow came out of my body, and then the Shadow threw Sebastian's body so that he was thrown forward.

My shadow then disappeared.

I managed to land and my shadow after that disappeared then I immediately went running his collar as surely as bounced.

Seeing me, Sebastian immediately stuck his sword on the ground so that he would not be thrown away.

Sebastian drew his sword from the ground, saw me move that would swing my wooden sword diagonally, then put up a horse and managed to resist the attack.

Our swords are holding each other back, though,

I took a step back preparing my hand, swinging my sword continuously. However, it can still be stopped by Sebastian

I took out my shadow again. My shadow moved towards Sebastian, and my shadow slid off Sebastian's leg until he fell.

I stood on it and pointed my sword at it. Seeing that, He raised both of his hands while saying. "I'm giving up Young Master."

I smiled and stuck my hand out at him.

"Thank you Young Master." He stood up and shook his clothes.

"You lost," I said.

"You're Using Limbo, obviously the results will be visible."

"Limbo yes... " I think perverted.

After I used this magic several times, I realized that this magic consumes a lot of energy.

When my magic energy is full I can only let it out for about two minutes, and if I force it for longer then I will fall unconscious.

"Hehehe."

"Yes Young Master" said Sebastian.

I checked my grip. "Why should we practice swords anyway?, Swords are no longer weapons used during war, right?"

"True young master, due to the development of firearms, the use of melee Weapons such as swords and others is reduced. However, that does not mean that melee weapons are no longer used. The calveleri unit still uses the sword as its weapon."

"Ehhhh.. They wear swords, not spears?"

Sebastian shook his head.

"I don't know about it, besides that the sword is still used by commanders and also swordsmen."

"That's it," I murmured.

"So Young Master, you'll be the commander later, then at least you master some sword techniques."

"Eh... Is that possible."

I walked to fetch a bottle of water that was stored under a tree.

The place we chose was the northern area of the village across the river near the forest.

It's been two years since I trained with Sebastian and now it's spring

I sat down and opened my drink bottle made of animal skin, I asked. "For me to use a rifle or a bayonet is enough."

Sebastian teased me a little. "For people who are afraid of Revolver, you still want to use it."

I shook my head. "No no, I mean, I'd rather use a Riffle gun."

"But if you use a revolver you can shoot more than once."

I lowered my eyebrows. "You're right but still, I still don't want to use it."

Suddenly a village man came to us.

"What's wrong" asked Sebastian.

"Young master, you're called Mr. Plumsen."

"Umm.". "my finger was touching my chin.

"Young master, we have to gasp" Sebastian said

"Huh.yeah, let's go back."

"Me, Sebastian and the man in the village cleaned up our gear, then headed straight for the ministry.

My feelings are not good.

***

"There's something you want to say" said my father who sat on the sofa.

I sat on the sofa opposite my father, next to me I saw my mother who was overwhelmed with anxiety.

My father sipped a cup of tea and said. "The Aramandian Repuplik army invaded our territory."

"Invasion," muttered my mother, My mother's face is getting anxious her head is sitting down .

I who was sitting next to him put on a serious face.

"Then Dad, are you going to fight."

"Yes, I'll do it. But I want you to come with me too."

I stood up and refused. "No Dad!!"

"What a blank Dad is, part of what training is, Dad war is not a place to practice but a place to kill each other."

"Also I want you to stay."

"But Dad, I don't want to fight. Besides I'm ten years old, why would a kid like me be on the battlefield."

I then looked at my mother.

"Mom, why you're silent, you're gonna send me a war box, you're gonna let me."

My mother sat still.

"Mother!!"

"Son, just follow your father's wishes ."

I widened my eyes, hearing my mother's words, my eyebrows tapered and stared intently at my father.

"Dad!, what did you do to Mom!?"

My mother held my hand. "Don't blame your father."

"But mom!"

"Mom's okay."

I immediately responded. "But what about me, mother?"

My mother smiled at me, but I could still see the expression of worry on her face.

"Mother believes you can do it .. There's Sebastian anyway."

My mother looked at Sebastian standing behind the couch.

"Please take care of my son, Sebastian."

Sebastia lowered her body. "good Mistress."

"But Mom I could've been ma-."

"Mom said I believed in you.  Son," My mother gave me a smile. "You're gonna be okay."

Gnashing my teeth and clenching my hands, I accepted what my mother said.

In the late afternoon, we headed to the city of Albert to join the rest of the army.

***

Albert city, a city with a large area. One of the industrial cities in the kingdom.

I was at the train station, preparing to leave for a city in the kingdom's northeast, Liberty City.

I was sitting on the platform waiting for the train to come. Around me, the soldiers were milling around with the weapons and equipment they were carrying.

"Regel."

"I turned to the side and saw my father in military clothes with two people beside his right, one of whom I had met before.

The middle-aged male with the mustache and beard fused, was white in color. He was with a military soldier.

They came up to me, and Dad introduced the man with the beard.

"Rigel introduce this to Professor Nickol Horsen a military magic instructor."

"Greetings son, I'm Professor Nickol Horsen and this is my adjutant."

The military man next to him bowed his head slightly to me.

"Greetings too, my name is Rigel Plumsen." I saw my father. "where did Sebastian go?"

"He's authorized to meet someone in this town."

"so."

My father stretched out his hand and held both of my shoulders. "This professor is my son who I told you about at the time" said my father.

He looked at me and gave a light smile.

"Well, so you're his son. Mr. Bernard told me that one of his children likes to read books."

I blushed. "Ehh!!. not really."

He asked me. "What books do you read often, Rigel?"

"Not many Profs, just some history books and basic books of magic."

He smiled back at me

"Are you interested in some other books."

I answered him with enthusiasm. "yes, if there are other books, I will read."

"It just so happens that in my place there are so many types of books, you can come borrow them."

"Really!!," I said in an excited tone.

Being able to read a book for free is very profitable, so I want to go to her house now. And if you look, he's probably the most accomplished Professor. If I could be his student.

"Ahem. but before that we have to finish this battle" said my father.

"That's so".

I forgot about that, Hearing the words from my father made my shoulders plummet.

"Quiet down Rigel, you gotta be upbeat." Professor Nickol tried to encourage me. "Son Rigel, you have to survive, if you want to read in my place."

I looked at Prof with watery eyes while smiling. "Good Prof."

This war must end soon.

After that the Professor and his aide left us, and I soon met Sebastian.

I asked Sebastian why he left and the answer was that he met his family to say goodbye.

A few minutes later a

A black steam-engined train arrives at Stasius.

The train stopped, smoke billowing around. Then shortly afterwards some soldiers entered each carriage with weapons and other equipment.

Me, my father and Sebastian were in the carriage, and it didn't take long for our journey to begin.
